All Washington State and United States flags are being flown at half-staff Friday in honor of a young Marine killed in the line of duty last month.
Governor Jay Inslee made the order for flags at all state agency facilities in recognition of Lance Cpl. Donovan Davis, a 21-year-old who died in a tragic helicopter crash on February 7, in California.
Davis and four others died as a result of the aviation mishap.
Flags will remain at half-staff until sunset on Friday, March 1.
Other government entities, citizens and businesses are encouraged to join this recognition.
A memorial service will take place on March 1 at Chapel – NAS Whidbey Island.
